The infamous "I don't wish to see you anymore, but I'm not going to tell you why." routine. Hmmm, perhaps this is related. If you are mad at your soon-to-be-XSO, you may not be in the mood to explain why. If you are still on good terms, but simply realise that "it wasn't meant to be", you may be more inclined to discuss *why* "it wasn't meant to be". -sigh- Snoopy's axiom of the week: "Communication is everything."
